bye, bill…

Bill Gates is retiring from Microsoft today, at the ripe old age of 52. I like Bill, now that he’s in his old age, and think he’s doing great things with his mountains of money.

Perfect timing too, now that the tides are all turning against Microsoft. We can look forward to great things from their new leader, Mr. Ballmer, I’m sure.

circle of influence

an interesting experience at work today: some Apple news sites reporting on how iTunes Remembers George Carlin, and an unfortunate error that shows a “Concert Tickets” link on the right side. that was a feature on a project i worked on, and i happen to know all the ins and outs of how it works. i notified the partner and engineers who worked on it, and it should be resolved today or tomorrow.

small and insignificant as far as what i do at work, but interesting to read about something in the news and actually be able to act on it directly.
